A Saudi Candy to America: A Saudi Sculpture and Flag Erected at the World Trade Center, Where 3,000 Americans Were Killed by Saudi Terrorists
By Julio
Severo
A sculpture celebrating the Islamic dictatorship
of Saudi Arabia had been erected on the World Trade Center grounds on December,
near the 9/11 memorial site. The exhibit included a Saudi flag.
The Saudi exhibit at the World Trade
Center raised questions because of longstanding accusations directed
toward Saudi Arabia in the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks. In
2003, hundreds of families affected by theses attacks sued Saudi Arabia
over its alleged involvement in harboring terrorism — given that 15 of the 19
hijackers were Saudi. But the U.S. government squashed their suit.
The Saudi exhibit was set to remain at the
World Trade Center until Feb. 28. But after protests, U.S. officials said that
the exhibit would move to another location in New York.
Move to another location? This is not
enough to change the fact that the Saudi exhibit is an insult to the memory of 3,000
Americans who were victims of Saudi terror.
Usually, a rapist who rapes children
firstly offers them a candy and next rapes them. Saudis first “raped” America —
if you can call 9/11 a terrorist “rape” — and now they offer America a symbolic
candy! Devilishly “nice,” isn’t it?
There is only a problem in this analogy.
America is not a vulnerable child at the mercy of a Muslim rapist. America not
only is unafraid of wars, but even likes them. So it is no surprise that U.S.
right-wing and left-wing presidents have been notoriously warmongers, in a
lesser or greater degree. A minor problem with America awakens her always ready
war machine to invade.
Why has Saudi Arabia never been invaded?
What hinders U.S. presidents — from Bush
to Obama to Trump — from giving Saudi Arabia exactly what it deserves is the
fact that the Saudi Islamic dictatorship is the greatest buyer of U.S. heavy
arms. If it were not for this fact, Saudi Arabia would have been long ago
bombed and invaded — not to mention that the U.S. government — from Bush to
Obama to Trump — would stop shielding Saudi Arabia from lawsuits from American
relatives of the 3,000 victims of the Saudi attack on the World Trade Center on
9/11.
It seems that the America controlled by
neocons can waste 3,000 American lives, provided that in return she — actually,
the neocons — gets a massive amount of cash — which the Saudis have been
dutifully doing by purchasing untold billions in U.S. heavy weapons. If America
gets really concerned about 3,000 American lives lost, she loses the deal. If
she prizes the Saudi deal, she gets cash and a symbolic candy.
Certainly, when Saudi Arabia runs out of
cash, neocons will keep Saudi Arabia accountable for all its crimes.
Meanwhile, America will welcome Saudi
symbolic candies, provided that Saudi Arabia keeps buying tons of U.S. heavy
arms.
Yet, my analogy about Saudi rape is not
far away from reality. A WND (WorldNetDaily) headline says everything: “5 Saudi
students flee U.S. before rape, murder trial.” Such blatant impunity is not
happening under Obama, but under
Trump, after he sold to the Saudis over 100 billion in arms. High cash
blinds — and America suffers exactly this blindness. And what
hope is there for such nation when even her powerful televangelists are blinded
by the Saudi money?
